Stop #####ing about rates and lower your costs

This might be politically incorrect, but the majority of inconsiderate drivers I encounter have either Chicagoland addresses, Canadian - YES, CANADIAN TERMINALS, or the drivers are invisible other than eyeballs and teeth. The former must be those new fangled ,self drive units. Good luck cussin' them out on the CB - wait, what's a CB?

 

Hilarious thread. Unfortuntely a tragedy too, waiting to happen.

Love that poughkeepsie muffler comment !!

 

I think trucks in Laredo and Nogales are in batter shape than his

 

He might need a 2015 IFTA Sticker why he is at it among a few other things.

 

Blame him, or the dozens of cops who've seen him and haven't put him out of service????

 

I was in North Bend, WA at the TA. Had just unloaded earlier and they were having a brake shoe replacement special so I went inside. I asked the guy if they could do it at night around 2am. His eyes lit up and there was an instructor there from TA and was looking to do a final exam for 4 mechanics. One thing led to another and he said he would do all 4 drive wheels for $100. That's the cost of brake kit for 4 wheels. This pic was not the worst brake but checking out shoes they looked fine when crawling underneath truck???? One of them had brake shoe parts fall off when they took the drum off. By the way. I did not feel any difference in the new shoes.

So here's the interesting part. Each student took wheels off then did a brake job and put wheels back on. THEN....took the wheels off and put the old brake shoes back on and the wheel. Each student did this. I was like WTF????? They were not qualified to do a brake job yet. They all passed and were given their certificate then each one was now qualified to do my brake job. I think it took 5 hours.

 

Hey,

that's my younger brother...............

 

Wow. Looked at those pics and something caught my eye. Not positive. But it appears to me like the front wheel is missing lug nuts at the 2 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions. Could be angle and lighting though.

 

I zoomed in they are intact, but from a distance they do appear to be missing

 

They seriously did the brake job, then took un-did it, then re-did it? Glad they only charged you $100 for that ####ery.
